BayView Cream Biscuits

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

These are a fabulous never-fail recipe plus they only take 20minutes - start to finish. Don’t take my word for it, at least 2 cookbook writers admit to using this recipe from James Beard - which is where I got it.
2C flour
1 Tbs baking powder
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1.5 C heavy cream

Preheat the oven to 425F
Combine the dry ingredients with a fork. Slowly add the cream stirring constanly. Gather the dough together – if it seems dry add a little more cream.

Place the dough on a lightly floured board and knead 4-5 times. Pat the dough into rectangle that is about 1 inch thick. Cut into 12 pieces and place on baking sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes until the tops are lightly browned.
ENJOY

One of our favourites. Consistently good.  The rainbow trout, cioppinni and all the pastas are especially good.  The service is friendly and good.

It is a step back in time, to an era when the world moved more slowly, family was the focus and every meal was a time to celebrate.

At “AMICI” they specialize in old world Italian cooking,where the food is plentiful and delicious. You want Italian? They’ll give you “real ” Italian… right in the heart of the beautiful Ambelside Beach district.
